Going Long and Hard.

Congrats, fat biking it?

I'm not sure which bike to bring ATM. I'm thinking my Timberjack with an AXS group and 42c tires would be the best option.

Really, you don’t want to be in that road position for the long flats.

I'm more concerned about fatigue bouncing around all day on that stiff of a bike. I could also have a new bike by then so this might be a moot point.

I think we know that gravel bikes have already shark jumped, this is maybe the best example

This is why the Timberjack was my first choice.

Do you have a sag/bailout vehicle? Thought that was part of it.

I'm under the impression that the XL is self-supported and doesn't need a vehicle, but if I do we have a team from HB going with all the bells and whistles.

• No assistance from a support crew. But you will be required to have a support crew present, so you have someone to come get you if you need rescued.

The Sram Truck will be there doing support also so I can put one of them down as my Crew. I already texted some of the guys to confirm that. I'm really not too concerned about it as they don't have to follow the rider like in the 200.

Things from this morning.

I setup an indoor thing. Not to ride indoors, but to go through the process so when customers come in I can lie to them better about indoor training. I rode around for like 5 minutes, then I "bought" a mountain bike. I rode around for a few more minutes. Meh.

If I'm indoors I'd rather take a strength day.

While bumping Fergie.

Hmmmm, I was considering doing the 200. Would they support me?

I'm not sure, you'll need to talk to Mike at Livingston.

To be fair, I'll ride whatever someone sends me 🙂
